AI at the service of society?

AI cannot be “uninvented.” But how can we govern its development to guarantee transparency, respect for freedoms, and benefits for the common good? Can we build a fair and inclusive “digital republic”?

Artificial intelligence is transforming our lives, bringing unprecedented possibilities but also major risks: algorithmic bias, erosion of privacy, and concentration of power. Confronted with these challenges, we cannot simply ignore AI but must put robust frameworks in place if we are to create a fair and inclusive “digital republic.” Harnessing AI for society and the common good demands both individual and collective action, ensuring AI remains trustworthy, accessible, and a source of broadly and equitably shared progress.

Hacking Hate

Image du film Hacking Hate - FIFDH 2025

My Vingren is a Swedish journalist renowned for her in-depth investigations. In Hacking Hate, she infiltrates far-right movements on social media. Adopting a fake profile, she witnesses the racist rhetoric and tactics of white supremacists. Meanwhile, she probes the platforms’ internal regulation mechanisms by interviewing key individuals, examining ways to hold these companies to account for enabling the spread of violent hate speech. As she ventures deeper into the dark world of online hatred, her research escalates to the point where her personal life is upended.
